What really made it bad was that 2 weeks before 24 inches fell in southern New England so another 3 feet was the coup de grace.

I lived in Medford, MA back then. Seven straight days of no school, followed soon after by the Feburary vacation.

Making those days up in June was a b****.

Ah yes, I remember it well... gov closed the state and handed out $100 fines to anyone caught on the roads. I weaseled my way out of a fine, but the guy behind me, a coworked didn't.

Exactly right - 3 feet on top of two feet equals lots and lots of snow. Most incredible storm I have ever experienced.

I was living in west/central Pennsylvania at the time.
I don't know if it was the same storm or not, but I figure we might've caught the edge of it.
Anyway, I can remember getting hit with 18" one night that was a little more difficult than usual for the town to dispose of because it followed closely on the tail of a previous storm that dumped a foot or so. Not as bad as other places, but still memorable.

That would have been the January 20th storm that dropped 20 inches in Boston. However, much of that was washed away by a drenching rainstorm a week lager. So when the Feb 6-7 blizzard hit, only a few snow piles were remaining from that storm. It really would have been something if we got those two storms back-to-back.
